NICEVILLE – It was a strange sight that greeted Niceville Police officers who responded to a disturbance call – a bloody man who seemed to not care if he were tased and admitted to using lots and lots of drugs.

The incident occurred March 3 at a Bullock Boulevard residence. Three officers responded and found a man bleeding from his head onto his face, shoulders and chest, walking erratically in the road. They told him to get off the road and he began to walk toward the group of people who had called police. Officers put themselves between him and the others.

An officer ordered him to stop and the man tried to walk through the officer. Officers warned him he was about to be tased and the man backed up, saying, “That’s just life” and walked toward the officers again. They handcuffed him.

“Due to (name withheld)’s strange behavior I asked him if he had been drinking or if he had taken any kind of drugs,” the officer wrote in the arrest report.

Witnesses told the officers the man had walked onto their front porch yelling and screaming. They told him to go home and he responded “No,” then tried to attack one of them. That’s when they called 911.

The man then went to a stop sign and began to smash his head against the sign. Next, he smashed trash cans and lay in the middle of the road.

He was charged with disorderly intoxication and has a court date of March 26.
